Obama to use Executive Order to ban guns
Has anyone heard anything concrete about this? I've just looked over several blogs and news articles about it.

It was Biden talking to the press. He didn't say anything new and he did say Obama "could". Now that's not saying Obama wouldn't. But the use of could is notable. Also I think some of the reactions that folks are having regarding the possibility of executive acts are over the top. Bush senior banned the importation of assault rifles after the Stockton Shooting in 89 - remember that? Clinton was always using excutive acts. They expire after a set amount of time and they open to review by the supreme court.
Like was said in the other thread lets deal with one thing at a time. Biden's commitee is designed to come up with possible actions and then present them to the president who will go from there. He's going to be saying a lot of stuff to the press. He's been out of the limelight for the past four years and I'm sure he's going to enjoy his time in front of the cameras. In case anyone is curious the commitee is meeting with many gun rights groups to include the NRA on Thursday. I don't know how much of a difference that will make, but it's unusual. If I remember correctly Clinton never met with the NRA during his 8 years in office. Just an observation. Last edited by Jcordell; 01-10-2013 at 05:21 AM. |

And Bush Senior didn't so much as issue an executive order as he merely began to enforce the GCA '68 more stringtently.
Sad, fun fact: The DOJ/ATF actually asked gun owners what they considered a sporting purpose and none of them mentioned Three-Gun or any of the practical competitions. Despite protests from H&K, who don't hate us enough to loose the surplus market. Sometimes, we, as gunowners, are our own worst enemies.

I wouldn't worry about it. Even if he did, the courts would overrule it shortly thereafter because it's completely unconstitutional. While I may be a secular liberal, I am definitely conservative on gun issues and I don't think that Obama is headed in the right direction for gun control. At all.
